Laying the Corner Stone.

The Reformed Church was crowded
yesterday at 3 O'Clock, to hear M. F.
Troxell, of Kansas City, deliver ser
mon preparatory to the laying of the
corner stone of the new Christian
church.
His subject-Christ the Chief Corner
Stone-was very appropriate to the oc-
caSion and was mastery effort, show
ing careful thought throughout. The
following is brief extract from his
discourse:
The theme is Gods central thought
toward man, Jesus Christ, represented
in the figure of the true corner stone of
both sacred and profane history. This
theme fits the work which this church
this day performs, upon which God
must look with great favor. You are
TO join two lines in an angle by stone,
superior and strong. This stone repre-
sents another and truer, which the
text declares the chief corner stone.
And l lay down the proposition that
Jesus of Nazareth is the true corner
upon which the whole structure of
sacred and profane history reSts-from
whom all lines diverge and toward
whom all point again. Jesus Christ,
and the system of Christianity, is the
corner stone upon which rests all sacred
or Bible history, because He is so de-
clared TO be in Gods word, and because
if YOU take away from that word the
type. prophecies, words and acts which
He performed, you have nothing left
worthy Of preservation. God before
creation, as great master builder, Sc
| lected the materials out of which the
structure of history would be made,
and upon His son, Jesus Christ, all
things were TO rest. AS the center
Of profane history Christ has become
in the foremost nations the point
in time from which all things are
dated. Zach issue of the daily press,
each record of deed, each dating OF "a
letter gives either written or unwrit-
ten testimony to this. Christ is the
ract in His life and death and reSur-
rection that explains the great strong
current in history. His life and In
iiueuce explain the fact of the purest
religion known among men. the fact OF
the strongest fidelity To truth and right,
as shown in the long line of christian
martyrs, and the very broadcast iber-
ty. If there is a better. purer, more
helpful religion in the world than
christianity, show it to me and l will
accept it. Christ is also the inSpira-
ton of the worlds finest masterpieces
in oil, the worlds most widely trans
lated and read works in literature and
the worlds choicest music, hymns and
songs. In6delity and skepticiSm and
iheathenism have no music that Is
worth a name and place in the home
and life of nations or people. Conclud'
ling all, the last thought is that Christ
lis worthy to be the chief corner stone
of all history in His words and works
and influence. He and He alone hal
touched all the chords of Gods great
est instrument-the human heart, ant
has caused all the strings to respon'
to divine and heavenly music.

You Can't Drive Them.

DR.. J. NJ. Hodge is recognized as q

of his committee and the Republican
strikers from the various precincts who
met in this city this afternoon and re

crack over the backs Of the Republican
voters of this county, ought 10 know
ere this that the voters of Dickinson
county will not be driven, whether they
be Democrats, Republicans or Green
hackers. The majority of the wie.ders
of the lash will discover on election
night, that their weapons have proven
a boomerang. As the Doctor said last
fall. 1.-The people will take care ot the
election" The strikers have issued
orders that the convention shall take
care of the people. The REFLECTOR
believes after surveying the past politi-
cal battle fields of this county, that the
expression used last fall will be the
policy pursued next November.

feel called upon as a christian man
to reply to the charge made against the
Salvation Army at Abilene, as copied |
from the Commonwealth, stating that |
the wife of a hardworking mechanic |
left her home to live with a company of
Salvationists. l am prepared to prove |
by fifty good men of Abilene that no
such thing has taken place in the city |
of Abilene, and if the Commonwealth |
considers struggling to lead christian |
life has tendency to immortality his |
training and education must be differ
ent from mine. ID. NJ. MERRIFIELD.
Henry Harnish, the Democratic can
didate for sheriff, is still keeping at the |

Mrs. Genevieve Cowles, the Demo

and if she should not get elected 1t
